Abstract (en)
[origin: JP2002008699A] PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved method for operating a gas forming equipment in a fuel cell power generating equipment having an especially improved cold state starting characteristics. SOLUTION: The related method for operating the gas forming equipment has two gas forming units through which a flow of a starting substance flows, which have a 1st and a 2nd rated electric powers, Prated-1, Prated-2, and a 1st and a 2nd operation temperatures Trated-1, Trated-2 determined beforehand; where, the 1st gas forming unit has a thermal mass lower than the 2nd gas forming unit. It is proposed that only the 1st gas forming unit is put into operation during a starting term, the 1st gas forming unit is operated with the electric power Prated-1>Prated-2, and at least the 2nd gas forming unit is operated after the end of the starting term.
